Lu Chengchuan turned around and explained to the wife: "No, she is not my girlfriend. Please don't misunderstand. She came to Shiqiao Village to visit relatives."
The people around looked at them and smiled without saying anything, which showed that they did not believe what he said.
"I am indeed here to visit relatives, but I didn't know the way, so Comrade Lu showed me the way. Please don't misunderstand me." Su Wan also explained.
The smiles on everyone's faces became more meaningful.
Su Wan was also a little embarrassed and couldn't help but look at Lu Chengchuan, and saw that Lu Chengchuan also had an embarrassed look on his face.
"Forget it. It's impossible to explain it to them. The innocent will be cleared. Comrade Lu, let's hurry up and leave." Su Wan whispered to him.
Lu Chengchuan nodded, and the two of them turned around and walked quickly towards the Su family, ignoring the gazes and discussions behind them.
Turn the corner and walk two steps forward, and you will see the Su family with a big locust tree in front of the door.
At this moment, a door next to Su's house suddenly creaked and was pulled open from the inside.
Li Dani and Lu Ping came out of the gate one after the other, their necks stretched out, followed by their sister-in-law Wang Xiaoe and three children.
Wang Xiao'e was of medium height and thin. Her skin was not very white, but not dark either. Among the country people, she was considered to be quite pretty.
Perhaps because she was not living a satisfactory life, her face was filled with bitterness, and she would frown all the time, giving people a bitter look.
Wang Xiao'e looked at Lu Chengchuan at first sight, and a layer of surprise filled her eyes. Just as her tightly furrowed brows were about to relax, she saw Su Wan walking behind him.
Seeing her appearance, Wang Xiao'e was surprised at first, because she had never seen such a beautiful girl in her life.
That little face was as white and tender as a freshly peeled egg, without a single flaw.
Not only was she good-looking, she was also well-dressed. Wang Xiao'e had never seen the clothes she was wearing in their countryside before, and it was obvious that they were not cheap.
Not only is she tall, but she also exudes elegance from head to toe. Standing next to her tall and handsome uncle, they look like a perfect match made in heaven.
Wang Xiao'e felt sad at heart, then she looked at herself and saw that she was all dusty. She had just come in a hurry and hadn't even had time to comb her hair properly. She couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in front of them.
Thinking that all her anticipation and waiting for the past two years would be in vain, jealousy grew wildly in her heart.
It was as if all the blood in her body was drained away in an instant. Her face turned pale, her hands and feet were cold, and her lips and body began to tremble involuntarily.
Wang Xiao'e didn't even say hello, turned around, walked over the threshold and went into the house.
Just when they were about to eat, Shitou came running back breathlessly saying that his uncle had returned and brought a very beautiful sister with him.
Wang Xiao'e didn't take her son's last words to heart. What could a child know? It might even be nonsense.
Although her uncle had not come back in the past two years, he had never mentioned his relationship to her parents-in-law in their correspondence. Wang Xiao'e felt that her uncle was a filial man and it was impossible for him to bring someone back without telling her.
If he really had a partner, he would have definitely let him know before bringing her back.
I never thought that he would bring the person back without saying a word.
Wang Xiao'e's husband Lu Cheng'an died of illness two years ago.
At that time, she was still pregnant with their unborn baby. When the man left, she also lost her backbone.
The child had never seen his father since he was born. Looking at the three young children, there was nothing he could do except wipe away his tears.
Her family came to pick her up and prepared to find a man for her to marry.
Although she was reluctant to leave her children, especially since her youngest child was only one month old, she had no opinion and finally followed her family.
Now that their own son was gone, the two old men of the Lu family had no right to keep their young daughter-in-law to be a widow for their son.
The day she left with her family, her two older children, one on each side, cried breathlessly and held onto her arms to prevent her from leaving.
The two elder brothers of the Lu family hugged their youngest grandson and followed behind, wiping their tears. The scene made the villagers who were watching the excitement couldn't help but cry.
In the end, Li Dani wiped the tears from her face, handed her grandson in her arms to Lu Ping, and then caught up with them in a few steps, and forcibly pulled the two children with her. Wang Xiao'e was able to get away and left with her family without looking back.
On the day she returned to her parents' home, someone introduced her to a man whose wife had also died. The man had three sons who were not only seven years older than Wang Xiao'e, but also looked very ugly.
After the meeting, Wang Xiao'e looked down on her man Lu Cheng'an. Although his looks were not as good as her uncle Lu Chengchuan, he was also a tall and handsome man.
The thought of spending her life with a man who was not even as tall as her and had a wretched look on his face made her feel sick and want to vomit.
However, the man promised Wang Xiao'e's family that if they married her, he would give them a dowry of 300 yuan.
As soon as Wang Xiao'e said no, she was bombarded by her family.
In order to force her to submit, he gave her the cold shoulder and even called her a nemesis who had brought all men to death and was now coming back to bring them down.
She was made to do all the heavy work at home, and was not even given any food when she came back from work.
Wang Xiao'e really couldn't stand it, but she didn't want to marry that ugly guy. At this time, a sister who played well with her came to visit relatives in her mother's family, and the two met and chatted for a while.
When the sister learned about Wang Xiao'e's difficulties, she suddenly remembered that a woman in her village also had her husband die, and she married her uncle with her two children.
Later, I had two children with my uncle, and our family lived a pretty good life.
The sister then told Wang Xiao'e about this matter. The speaker had intention and the listener took it to heart, so Wang Xiao'e really started to think about it.
She married into the Lu family when she was 18. Although she had given birth to three children, she was only 26 years old, only two years older than her uncle.
If she and her uncle were able, it wouldn't be difficult for her to give him one or two children.
The more Wang Xiao'e thought about it, the more she felt that it would be more cost-effective to return to Lu's home.
With an idea in mind, Wang Xiao'e could not stay in the Wang family for another day. That night, when everyone in the Wang family fell asleep, she rolled up her things and returned to the Lu family under the moonlight.
After all, she was the children's biological mother, and the children were very attached to her. Seeing the children snuggling up to Wang Xiao'e and smiling with satisfaction, the old couple of the Lu family kept Wang Xiao'e.
A few days later, Wang Xiao'e mustered up the courage to speak out her thoughts.
It is not uncommon in rural areas for the younger uncle to take over the eldest brother's wife and children after the eldest brother is gone.
The two elders of the Lu family discussed it and felt that this was indeed feasible. The children would not have to worry about suffering if they followed their uncle, so they nodded and agreed to write a letter to discuss it with Lu Chengchuan.
Who knew that Lu Chengchuan would directly reject the offer in his reply.
He also said that as long as his eldest sister-in-law took good care of his parents and the children at home, he would send money home every month and would take good care of them on behalf of his eldest brother.
Wang Xiao'e interpreted her uncle's refusal as shyness, otherwise why would he say he would take care of her and the child?
With anticipation in her heart, she urged her parents-in-law to keep writing to Lu Chengchuan and ask him to come back.
Seeing that no matter how he explained, he couldn't dispel his family's thoughts, Lu Chengchuan simply rarely replied to their letters, and he didn't dare to go home anymore.
Last year, Lu Chengchuan became company commander again, and Wang Xiao'e became more concerned about him.
After all, where can she, a married woman with children and not young anymore, find such an outstanding man?
If Lu Chengchuan doesn't come back, she will wait at home. His parents are here, and she believes he will definitely come back.
As long as he comes back and as long as her parents-in-law support her, she feels that her uncle will accept her sooner or later.
But after waiting for two years, he came back with another woman.
Jealousy and hatred intertwined together, filling Wang Xiao'e's entire chest.
No, she couldn't let them go on like this, her uncle was hers, no one could snatch him from her.
Wang Xiao'e couldn't help but clench her fists.
